Former Indian cricket team captain Kapil Dev has delivered an important message to the sports world. He has appealed to the citizens to provide full support to sports other than cricket. Kapil believes that the playing field should not be limited to just one sport.

Kapil Dev acknowledged that cricket has given him everything in life and he will always remain grateful to the sport. However, he clarified that this does not mean other sports should be neglected.

The former captain stated that every sport has its own significance and the hard work of athletes is not any less in any discipline. He described the tendency to compare cricket with other sports as incorrect.

According to him, when we compare sports, we lower the morale of athletes who are bringing glory to the country in other fields. He emphasized the need for an equal platform and support for all sports.

According to the report by the Sports Desk of Amar Ujala, Kapil Dev said that there is no shortage of talent in the country; they just need the right encouragement and support. If we promote other sports just like cricket, India can win even more medals at the global level.

Kapil also mentioned that to develop a sports culture, it is necessary to maintain a positive attitude toward every sport. He urged fans to watch matches of other sports as well and boost the morale of the athletes.

This is not the first time a legendary player has spoken about diversity in sports, but this statement by Kapil Dev holds significant weight. His call will certainly provide inspiration to athletes involved in other sports.

In conclusion, he reiterated that as a sports enthusiast, he wants India to excel in every sport. For this, the cooperation of society and fans is essential.
